iPod nano video
My girlfriend received an iPod nano video for Christmas.
As for music, it works fine with rhythmbox from experimental rebuilt against latest libgpod library.
But I can’t find any Linux software which would allow us to transfer pictures. I have tried gpixpod, but it seems the iPod is too new as it doesn’t even detect it. iTunes does not run with Wine.
I think I will try to set up iPod Linux some day…

My experience without Adobe® Flash™ Player
about 1 month ago - 10 comments
Adobe® recently announced they have (temporarily) stopped working on the amd64 version of their Flash™ Player for GNU/Linux. The previous releases contain a big security issue, which makes them totally unusable. As I didn’t want to wait until the flashplugin-nonfree package to be updated to support the i386 plugin through nspluginwrapper (as suggested in #586273),

My blog has just celebrated its 4th birthday. 161 posts, only 190 comments, but the statistics shows a stable increase in the number of visitors (in average a bit less than 500 unique visitors per day).

Moved to London!
about 7 months ago - Comments Off
Well, I haven’t moved myself, but my server is now hosted in the new Linode datacenter located in London. The migration has caused a downtime of more or less 4 hours yesterday, time for the data to cross the ocean. The migration was successful, though you might still experience issues to connect to the services
Switched to GIT
about 8 months ago - 1 comment
After having converted my packages to the new 3.0 (quilt) source format, I have decided to move everything to GIT. rkhunter was moved to Alioth’s collab-maint project, and I have set up a personal GIT repository for the other packages. This page on the wiki has helped a lot. I now need to learn how
HADOPI II law adopted
about 10 months ago - 1 comment
The HADOPI II law was finally adopted on September the 15th by the Assemblée Nationale. Guess what? My local representative, who wrote recently a very nice letter against this project, voted in favor of this law. This is not a real surprise, as it has also happened with the HADOPI I law last May, but

Email management and spam fighting, testing Google Apps
about 1 year ago - 3 comments
I have been thinking a lot lately about email management and spam fighting. For my personal email, I use a setup based on Postfix, RBL and WL, grey listing, and DSPAM (by the way, you can find unofficial packages of current development version in my personal repository). To better train DSPAM, I have removed all
French income tax e-declaration
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
As usual, I have chosen to use the online way of declaring my incomes for the French income tax. This year, I could declare everything without any issue using Iceweasel and Icedtea on Debian GNU/Linux amd64. However, I was unable to sign my declaration using my certificate. I have tried installing sun-java6-plugin, which allowed me
HADOPI law finally voted by my local representative
about 1 year ago - 3 comments
As expected, the French HADOPI law was voted earlier today by the Assemblée Nationale. As expected, my local representative voted in favour of this law. I had however kept a secret hope that he would abstain for this vote, following to the email I have received from his assistant following to our meeting. Mr Vannson

iPod nano is very good as a walkaround mp3 player. my only complaint is that the included headphones lack good bass. I replaced it with the Sennheiser CX-300 and the sound was awesome.
